Laird Plateau

Laird Plateau (82°0′S 157°0′E) is a small plateau, over 2,400 metres (8,000 ft) above sea level, standing 1 nautical mile (2 km) northwest of Mount Hayter on the north side of the head of Lucy Glacier, Antarctica. It was seen by the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1964–65) and was named for Malcolm G. Laird, the leader of this geological party to the area, as was also Cape Laird.[1]
